Re: [emax] OLED group buy....

2012-09-27 by Ted Summers

Other than the $10 USD higher price per unit (crystalfontz has similar for
$16.95- but not the drop in replacement I would like), the shipping and the
customs tax that may occur on a couple of hundred dollars, as I need at
least 5 units and more likely 10???

Thanks,
Ted
